Moi demoted Kibaki in 88, tried to rig him out in 88, then rigged him out in 1997.
You dont think he was happy with Moi.
Kikuyu elite were bitter with Moi. And so was Raila and his cohort.
Everyone was bitter with Moi.
Moi and his elite were very scared. All of them had bought house abroad.
Only Ruto was not scared - because Ruto has no fear gene in him - he told Kalenjin to snap out of it and face Kibaki.
US cannot summon exiting president to discuss peace and security just two weeks to election.
US was going to sign MOU btw Kibaki and Moi.
You fool just like arguing for nothing.
The MOU was masterminded by Brig Boinnet - he was talking to Kibaki and US gov - and they agreed to the deal.
Boinnet kept his job until 2005.
As for Uhuru - it upon him to find a leverage he can use to negotiate with Ruto.
Friendship in politics is NOTHING.
Moi leverage was military - he had been in power for 24yrs and was well entrenched.
He was capable of handing over to the military after engineered chaos.
Moi had pulled it in 1992 - engineering land clashes.
He knew Kenyatta and Kikuyu elite had put him VP so they can steal Kamatusa land.
That was leverage Moi had - he would pull out the Land card - via Majimbo talk anytime he felt threaten.
And did the same in 1998 - when Kibaki filled a petition.
His plan was simple - start chaos - then handover to military.
Sumbeiyo was the guy Moi and kalenjin elite wanted to take over - but he refused.
As for Uhuru - HE NEED LEVERAGE to NEGOTIATE with Ruto.
One leverage he has lots of billions. He can tell Ruto take half of my billions and leave me alone
The other levarage - Jubilee party - he is trying to get MPS and governors - so they can scream murder esp in Mt Kenya if he is touched.
He doesnt have land clashes or military card like Moi had....but he has Kikuyus like you who adore him...but hate Raila. He can play victim though Ruto is deadly in propaganda.
The only leverage Uhuru has with Gideon - is to cut Ruto the biggest cheque ever - to compensate for 5yrs they "stole" from him.Ruto will let them go if they can compensate 2018-2022 loss to him and friends. That really is their main beef. They moved Ruto cheese - and invited strangers to the dinning table...and they didnt stop there..they tried to drown him after torturing and humiliating him.
You are being naive. By 2002 Kibaki was 40 years in politics out of these he had worked with Moi 30 years including 10 years as his Vice President.
U.S. were worried that Moi like other African Presidents would hang on power. During the visit Bush assured Moi of protection if he left power which is what you are calling MOU.
Moi was okei with Kibaki being President though he preffered Uhuru .
Uhuru was his Plan A Kibaki was his Plan B. Actually Mois regret in 1992 election was Kibaki deserting him . He would have wanted him to be in KANU so to groom him for Presidency.
Why you think Moi can cut deal with Kibaki and Uhuru cannot cut deal with Ruto is being Naive. Typical of Kenyan naivety about politicians . Ruto cares for Uhuru than he would care for you.
